Did you send Priority Mail and hoping that it would get there sooner?
Always send your mail 1st class, and don't listen to the BS the clerk at the PO give about whatever, the PO doesn't train their people very well, and if you need something different than what they know, those people are just guessing. |

i sent it regular 1st class mail. In the past when I had sent mail to places that close, it takes 2 to 3 days. I dont know how he sent it... ive got stuff from him in the past and it was always USPS, Probably priority mail. Usually it would be here like 2 days after he sent it out. |

My experience with the USPS has been outstanding! Stuff gets from Hawaii to the East Coast averaging 4 days when I use Priority Mail, for cheap! I send stuff regular first class to Texas on a regular basis and it takes 3-4 days. The USPS has never lost or damaged any of my packages.
All of those are real benefits considering that the only alternatives are UPS, FedEx, and DHL. All of which require air service (read: expensive) since it is leaving on an airplane. YMMV. -Randy

You gave no information regarding the behavior of the seller for me to side with you and blame USPS.

The seller is well respected on this board., and for good reason. I have dealt with him a few times in the past and it has always been an excellent experience. Like I said, it took a full week for my payment to get to him. from NY to VA. What is that, a 5 hour drive? Since he got it, it has been another full week. |

In my area, the post office is excellent. Your level of service varies greatly with office.

I had a piece of first class mail take 30 days to get to TN from CA. It's rare, but it does happen.

I've got to back up Grant also, he's a great dealer and prompt shipper. Virginia is right there on the east coast with the anthrax alerts, that could be slowing things down. I've applied for a couple DC area jobs and they wanted me to fax my documents due to mail problems.
Another issue may be the increased security around NY for the upcoming RNC. I'm sure that's putting excessive strain on many trucks, shipments, and commerce activities. Who knows... I'm just happy when it finally does get there!  -Randy |

WTF is with "Click-N-Ship Notification"? The only two times I've used it, I get the same message every time:
I get this up until after the package is delivered. How is this useful? Just to let me know that the seller told USPS he would bring them the package on a given date? |

I have had very good LUCK with USPS, NOTso good luck with UPS, and great service with FedEX.
Not to high-jack your thread....but has anyone else noticed small cresent shaped pieces missing out of the bottom of their delivered envelopes? MT I didn't mention 20 years ago a rifle shipped USPS to me from Texas arrived in 2 pieces....and yes it was shipped in one. |

Man, my work has a new office, I had to set up mail delivery with the USPS, which basically entailed asking them where I should place the new mailbox, and to alert them that I was on their route.
It took a month of dealing with incompetent and negligent employees before they finally registered our existence, then fucked up the first few deliveries. Now we find out the mail gets delivered at about 5pm. Wonderful. |

I'm convinced my mailman regularly takes trays of mail and hides them until he feels like delivering them.
